Marc works for a company based out of Raleigh, North Carolina. So they flew us back there for some meetings and for the company Christmas party. Raleigh is also where Marc served his mission. We didn't have a lot of time to ourselves, but we did have some time to check out some of the areas where he served. The highlight of the trip was visiting Duke and UNC's campuses. Saturday morning we went and walked around UNC's campus. The basketball arena was locked so we just peaked through the windows. Then this lady walks up to us and asks if we are from out of town, when we told her we were from Idaho, she said "follow me." Come to find out she is a women's basketball coach and she took us down onto the floor and took some pictures of us. She then gave us her card and told us to call her if we even needed tickets. This made Marc's day (for those of you that don't know he is a UNC fan). She told us that she loved Idaho potatoes, so Marc told her he would send her a box of potatoes. She was thrilled about that!
That afternoon Marc's boss took us to a Duke basketball game. It was a lot of fun, but not enough to make us Duke fans (sorry Mitch). The students were crazy and made the game fun to watch. Cameron Indoor Stadium is tiny and old. There were even stained glass windows on the outside. This makes it hard to get tickets, so we were grateful to be able to go.

That's sweet! I never been back east! That would be way cool to go back there! I've heard it's very green and gorgeous!
I love that marc tries to pretend to love UNC, but as these pictures prove, he would much rather attend a Duke game. Good to have you on our side marc.
Mitch
